RL Axle Jacks

Low‑Profile Jacks for Deflated‑Tyre & AOG Recoveries

The RL Axle Jack family is purpose‑built for the toughest situations: multiple flat tyres, damaged rims or soft‑ground sink‑ins where conventional jacks cannot reach. With roll‑under heights as low as 60 mm and capacities from 15 t to 100 t, RL jacks restore safe lifting capability for everything from Military fighters to the largest Wide-Body Aircraft. Dual‑mode hand pumps (low‑pressure/high‑volume + high‑pressure/low‑volume), optional air‑hydraulic drives, and hydraulically adjustable undercarriages let teams position, pump and secure the load in minutes, anywhere in the world.

Keyfeatures

Ultra‑low closed heights: 60 – 125 mm across the range for rim‑on‑ground access.

High hydraulic stroke: up to 620 mm of lift; no threaded extension needed.

Robust pumping options: dual manual hand pump standard; air‑hydraulic pump on 60 t + models.

Manually operated safety lock nut: positive mechanical load security.

Nitrided & polished ram set: corrosion resistance and long seal life.

Force indicator: dual‑scale gauge (bar / kN or bar / psi) on every jack.

Hydraulic height‑adjustable carriage: floating axle with heavy‑duty castors for easy alignment.

Tow‑bar with 3‑inch eye: single‑person manoeuvring or tractor towing.

Skydrol‑resistant paint & 150 % proof‑load test: durability you can certify.

Highlights

  • RL15 – 15 t / Military and Business Aviation nose‑/main gear
  • RL30 – 30 t / A220, A320‑family, 737, Embraer E‑Jets
  • RL90 – 90 t / A330‑A380, 747, 777, 787, mixed narrow‑body fleets
  • RL10001 – 100 t / A380 body‑ & wing‑landing gear, A350‑900/‑1000 MLG

Min. roll‑under heights: 60 mm (100 t), 70 mm (90 t), 73 mm (30 t), 80 mm (15 t).

Hydraulic lifts: up to 620 mm (90 t) giving total heights to 690 mm.

10‑year spare‑parts guarantee and documentation set (O&M manual, proof‑load cert, CoC, EC declaration).

Application Cases

Flat‑tyre / rim‑on‑ground recoveries: regain lifting access when wheels are totally deflated.

AOG & remote‑field operations: low‑profile design fits fly‑away tool kits for rapid response.

Wide‑body heavy lifts: dual 100 t jacks under A380 body gear; single 90 t under A330/777.

Wheel & brake changes: safe, fast lifting without swapping to taller standard jacks.

Training & procedure validation: straightforward manual controls aid technician upskilling.
